Hello guys I wanted to see what you guys thought about the new T mobile Simple Choice North America Plan. I currently have the Simple Choice plan with 9 lines. 2 of my lines have unlimited data. I wanted to see cost wise what you think is best. I know the North America Plan includes coverage in both Mexico and Canada which I wouldn't use. Also I have grandfathered in a %15 discount for my plan. I'm not sure if the new plan still allows it or not.
So, what's the difference between what you have now and new plans???
I just signed up for the unlimited simple choice jump uncarrier plan or what have you on Saturday. Coming from Verizon shared 4gb family plan. Now I'm on this single unlimited plan and my speeds are way better and I don't have to worry about going 5gb over my plan ever month? I got the note 4 with T-mobile which I had with Verizon. And now that I can root and have unlimited Data I'm a happy camper. I won't be visiting Canada or Mexico any time soon but it's nice that I can do so without headache or taking out a loan.

My cellular contract is up in April, and I'm thinking about getting rid of AT&T, since their customer service isn't so great, and their Internet is a bit pricy (if I'm caught with anything they deem too advanced, I end up paying $45 a month.
I've been considering T-Mobile, with their data plan of $20, and I can keep my existing smartphone. However, Sprint SERO is offering unlimited data, text and 500 minutes of calling for $30/mo. Catch is I have to buy a new phone (I know that the Treo 750 is an HTC-built device, but is the same true of the 700wx?), and I'd be locked into a 2 year contract with Sprint!.
I'm willing to look at other companies, including regional providers. I'd prefer prepaid or contract-less, but if the deal is good enough... catch is I'm in south Jersey, and not many regional providers around here.
What are people's opinions?
Hi guys,
i learned that the Prepaid Straight talk At&t sim 3G is limited from streaming videos.
is there a good alternative prepaid U.S. Carrier that offers a good deal of data plan?
Though the regular prepaid At&t 3G ($25 for 1 Gb) is good however I would like to know other alternatives prepaid carrier that is compatible with international galaxy note.
I'm on the $50/month unlimited everything GoPhone plan on AT&T, unlimited (uncapped, full-speed HSPA+) data (!!!!), unlimited texting (international texting, too), unlimited minutes, etc. It's more expensive than what you're looking at but the value still beats any other carrier in the US, especially because the service is so good
is the GoPhone 3G data compatible with the Galaxy note N7000 (international version)?

I looked up the Webpage of Gophone phone plans. and under the column of $ 50 unlimited plan it says it is unlimited however I can not understand the footnote below.
"Smartphone users must purchase a data package to use data services on eligible plans. Pay–per–use data is not available with Smartphones."
Does that mean that the prepaid $ 50 unlimited plan has another separate internet data price?

the international note's imei is not in att's u.s. database as a smartphone, it just shows up as "samsung phone" when they hook it up. therefor, you can get the "dumphone" unlimited data plan on the int'l note without paying the extra $30 smartphone fee. i've been using it for three months, it's brilliant.
i created a walkthrough thread on how to set it up awhile back. check that if you are interested in going this route.
Straight talk is the best option. $45 a month. And some months I have went over 4.5gb with no problems. With a consistent speed of 5.3+ mbps at any given time. And that includes streaming video.

Thanks Cwininger,
1. does the dumphone unlimited plan include a 3G video streaming?
2. what is the cap data limit of your plan?
Thinking about jumping ship back to att i have become sick of verizons lack of support for there so called flagship devices and a few other things
Everyone i know including myself who has a 4G phone only has verizon in my area and im wondering if anyone here can give me a good comparison of the twos typical speeds im not in a major metro area so congestion isnt bad ive heard att has a faster rate then vzw
No contest. VZW has LTE in 371 cities, AT&T has LTE in 7 cites and plans on 45 by the end of the year.

ATT has LTE coverage in my area so im fine now just wondering what the speed comparsion people see googled this but basically it just says verizon X amount of markets att X amount
I love verizon but the fact i have the unlimited data plan and they want me to switch to the BS tiered plan and pay twice what i do now is the last straw never thought being a long term customer of a company would come with a penalty in the end

Never had ATT's LTE, but I was in Chi town last weekend and VZW's LTE is blazing fast there. You only have to switch to the tiered plan if you purchase a subsidized LTE phone from them, if you buy one full price or craigslist or something you can keep your old plan. Also if you go to AT&T your gonna be on a tiered plan as well.

yea i understand just not willing to pay 400-500 for a phone and at least with ATT i get 3gb for a reasonable price comapred to the 1 i would get with verizon
ATT 3GB - 450 mins and unlimited text comes out to be around -80
Verizon 4GB unlimited text and mins 125.00
and i dont care about text or mins as i use google voice for texting and voice
I'm just not sure why you'd want to get locked into another contract for two years if you don't have to. Since you're in a big city T-Mobile's 4G should already be rolling out and you can get Unlimited 4G month-to-month without signing a contract for the same price you're looking at with AT&T. If T-Mobile's coverage sucks there the guess that's that, but something to consider.
OK guys so I've been working in wireless back to the Airiel days. Then voice stream.
I've seen plans come and go. I've seen companies come and go.
I've seen limited data. Unlimited data, and limited data again.
This thread is to post your experience with plans on the nexus 4 to give people the information on what's out there.
Now as a wireless consultant which this is what I do.
I rate and create projects for customer feedback.
Go smart was my last job.
One word..... Sucks!!!
Now if you want to pay $35 for your iPhone on edge its a great deal.
Beyond that its a crappy deal.
I've personally used. Straight Talk... Ehhh OK.
Simple mobile ..... False advertising.
Net 10..... Data issues galore.
Att unlimited prepaid..... With imei hack... Still throttled to 500kbps...
Then we come to TMobile prepaid plan.
Out of everything prepaid I've used.
And this includes Solavei. Don't get me started on mlm wannabes.
The T-Mobile $70 plan directly through T-Mobile is the best plan hands down.
And for the solavei person who will say but ours is unlimited.... I did your consulting affiliate... Its only 4GB of data. And they are having massive billing issues, and not to mention losing people in there customer base.
I give them six months before imploding.
Did you know they are amassing a massive roaming bill.
Back on track.
I get true unlimited data. Everywhere in the u.s.
The new unlimited plan "includes roaming"
I have used 25GB of data this month see screen shots.
If you are a smart wireless consumer for your nexus.
Get this $70 plan and then here is how you save.
Find someone on eBay there are hundreds folks.
Selling $100 prepaid card credits for $69.99
Or even $50 cards for $40
Its all over eBay.
Right now im on the $70 plan and I pay about $45 a month average because of where I buy the refill cards.
So if you have a nexus 4.
This is the best plan on prepaid for power users.
I've achieved speeds over 30mbps and average 25mbps
That's better than Verizon lte and AT&T LTE postpaid plans.
This very well could be the best plan in wireless post paid or prepaid in wireless.
Tell me what you think.
And your experiences with other companies on the nexus 4.
There is a cheaper business plan.
$54.99 total cost I'm looking at but its post paid.
On the Dev side. I'm looking to try to improve the radio issue.
Using a optimus g hack.
Stay tuned
Screen shots attached.
Oh one last thing.
$7.00 a month insures your nexus 4 on prepaid.
No other mvno does that.

Sounds like it. And I looked at the T-mobile option and most aren't going for any measurable discount. As for comparing them to straight talk. Im on T-mobile directly, my girlfriend is on ST. Both of us on Nexus 4s. Our service and speeds are identical (and I can attest to LTE speeds on T-Mobiles network). Straight talk is nothing more than a virtual operator that either uses AT&T or T-Mobile's network.
There's just one problem with you post, T-Mobile's coverage sucks balls. Yeah its cool to get 20Mbps but if your not getting that you're usually on edge, which is at least half the time. I'll stick with straight talk att.

There's already a T-Mobile discussion thread.
The intricacies of cell phone plans aren't really specific to the Nexus 4, anyway.
Closed
WOW! I'm impressed because if you take into account that it's about 1.50$ a minute to call in the USA, in 3 minutes you have already used up almost the 5$ it costs to use the new service. I often travel to the US and wished this plan would have existed before.
Introducing ROAM LIKE HOME: A brand new way to roam in the U.S.
The stress related to U.S. roaming has just disappeared. Gone are the days of adding roaming plans, swapping out your SIM card or searching endlessly for Wi-Fi. Today we shared news that will change how you stay connected when you are in the U.S. $5 per day for the freedom to roam Starting Monday, November 10, your Share Everything Plan will cover the U.S. For just $5 per day when roaming in the U.S., you will be able to use the data and unlimited talk and text from your Share Everything Plan in the U.S. just like you would at home. Even calls and texts within the U.S. and back to Canada are included. This means you can text your BFF from Chicago; update your Facebook status while lounging in Miami; get directions when you’re lost in Memphis; call home to check in from Portland; Instagram a picture from the Statue of Liberty and more – all for only $5 per day when roaming. Your mobile phone is now your best travel companion. Simple and affordable We know not everyone heads to the U.S. for the same reasons – visiting family, shopping, playing tourist, work, etc. – so whether you’re hitting the outlet malls across the border for the weekend or basking in the Florida sun for three months, we’ve got you covered:
You’ll only pay $5 per day for ROAM LIKE HOME, for a maximum of 10 days on any monthly bill
This means up to 21 days of ROAM LIKE HOME at no extra charge in that month
If you’re not using your phone on a particular day when you’re in the U.S., the $5 per day doesn’t apply
If you happen to use more data than what’s included in your plan, you’ll be charged the same as if you were in Canada. Track your usage using the My Rogers app. You can also switch to a different Share Everything Plan if yours is no longer meeting your needs.
But how do you get it? If you’re an existing Share Everything customer, you’ll need to enroll first. Starting November 10, simply text “travel” to 222 to get started. All new Share Everything customers as of November 10 will be automatically enrolled so they can immediately start taking advantage of our best roaming rates to the U.S. We listened when Canadians told us roaming wasn’t always easy and affordable. In a recent survey, we found that 49 per cent of Canadians who travel with their mobile device turn roaming off and 66 per cent wait to share photos rather than uploading them in-real time. More than half of people surveyed would rather take a chance on a nearby restaurant instead of using their mobiles to find the top-rated eateries in the area. That’s why we’ve introduced ROAM LIKE HOME – so you can use your mobile device just like you do at home anywhere you travel to the U.S. Visiting the U.S. is about having fun, not stressing about staying connected. With ROAM LIKE HOME, travelling in the U.S. will never be the same. ROAM LIKE HOME is also coming soon to tablets – stay tuned. If you could roam anywhere in the U.S., where would you go?

Robbers...I mean Rogers sucks. Windmoble has unlimited data and calling in USA for $10 a month.
@op, of course you're impressed. I bet you were also impressed when you fell for share everything plan.
Don't worry, I know plenty that lost their unlimited North America with 6 gb data, for shiny iPhone and share everything plan. They will rejoice with this Roaming deal.
I myself will just pop in local sim in my unlocked phone.

Yep! ^^^
They try to make their plans and extras seem like a deal! Like most big companies they are looking for BIG profits.
Many others up here offer voice text n data in US for fraction of the price.
And their new share everything plans are EXPENSIVE! and here's the kicker.. As of few months ago one now HAS to switch to a new plan and give up (likely an older much cheaper but with more stuff plan) if you want to EVER get a new phone (subsidized ). That is the true tragedy.

First of all, wind has a VERY limited user base as its only in small parts of southern Ontario. Second, an unlimited north American data plan never existed from any of the major carriers.in Canada. 3rd, I have absolutely nothing to complain.about with Rogers. I have a 15gb share everything plan with 2 tablets that have LTE and I pay 100$ a month and that includes worldwide sms and prefrred calling rates abroad. There is not a single company in the US or in Canada that is widely available that could match my plan in any way.
If you think Rogers are robbers then don't go with them. You don't live in Syria...you have the choice to go with wind if it's available to you, which is probably not.because it's only in.southern Ontario. So at least when you compare, try to do it on a fair ground.

Your plan is a ripoff. Bell and Rogers run a monopoly and make sure everyone overpays. Not just for phones but in all forms of communication.
We've had something similar here in New Zealand, however it's worldwide roaming. Pay $5 a day and get unlimited roaming in the UK, Australia, USA, Japan, China and couple of island countries.
